Saudi Arabia 'detains' Israeli vulture for spying
oh dear poor turkey
Saudi Arabia 'detains' Israeli vulture for spying
Griffon Vulture Griffon Vultures can soar at up to 11,000 metres (36,100 ft) above sea level. A perfect vantage point?
* Israel rejects shark plot claims
Saudi Arabian officials have "detained" a vulture on accusations of being a spy for Israel, media reports say.
The griffon vulture was carrying a GPS transmitter bearing the name of Tel Aviv University, prompting rumours it was part of a Zionist plot.
Israeli wildlife officials dismissed the claims as ludicrous and expressed concern about the bird's fate.
Last month, Egyptian officials implied the Israeli spy agency Mossad was to blame for shark attacks off its coast.
The vulture, which can have a wing span of up to 265cm (8ft 8in), was caught after it landed in the desert city of Hyaal a few days ago.
When locals discovered the GPS transmitter, they suspected the worst and handed it over to the security forces, said Israel's Ma'ariv
newspaper.
Conspiracy theories quickly began circulating in Saudi newspapers and on websites that the bird was involved in espionage.

Is it just me that thinks like this - don't the Israelis and the Arabs deserve each other, they're both as mad, dogmatic, violent and
pathetic. I just wish we could just put a big impenetrable fence around the lot of them and let them get on with it and do the rest of the world a big
favour.
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

Don't be daft that's where all the oil is!
Been reading Frankie Boyle's book, he said the best cure for this would be atheism.. Maybe we should be spreading that word...
I can see the leaflet now.
There is no God, of any sort.
Then why are you not allowed (insert forbidden items)
Who said you'll get 72 virgins? How do you know?
How do you know they're FEMALE?
Ever thought of the possibility that we all just rot in the ground?
Why can't we just put our guns down and explore the stars as one people?
